Если кто-то думает, что настольные игры это скучное перекладывание жетонов с цифрами для душнарей, то посмотрите на "Неон".
"Неон" — проект от российских разработчиков в жанре Battle Royale и сеттинге киберпанка. Если киберпанк от настолок ожидать можно легко (видеоигра Cyberpunk 2077 основана именно на настолке 1974 года), то батлрояль это что-то сравнительно новое. По меньшей мере, кажется, что настольному ритму это противоречит: если игрок на личной встрече друзей вылетает из игры навсегда и скучает, то это антипаттерн, и в нормальных играх с проработанной механикой такие вещи стараются не делать (одна из причин, по которым "Мафия" бесконечно хуже, чем "Авалон").
Авторы "Неона", впрочем, решили эту проблему, добавив отдельный дополнительный режим с возрождением: после смерти ты появляешься заново, а игра в таком случае идёт на очки. Причём, довольно хитро сделано, например, так, чтобы убивать только что возродившихся было менее выгодно, чем тех, кто засиделся на арене. Но можно играть и по хардкору настоящий режим на вылет.
В остальном очень драйвовая настолка с неплохим балансом, пафосным лутом и простыми правилами, которые постигаются за 10 минут. Присутствует эффект постепенно уменьшающегося мира, как и положено в батлроялях, так что к концу игроки неизбежно стоят рядом и провоцируются на драку. Единственное что, мне кажется, не слишком большая реиграбельность: после пары десятков партий уже будут изучены все предметы и возможные цепочки действий. Надеюсь, авторы выпустят в скором времени дополнение.

#UK to end study visas for #Sudan, #Cameroon, Myanmar, Afghanistan students
The United Kingdom says it will end study visas for students from #Afghanistan, Cameroon, #Myanmar and Sudan, and work visas for Afghans, amid a rise in anti-immigration sentiment in the country.

The Home Office said the number of asylum applications by students from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan had “rocketed” by more than 470 percent between 2021 and 2025.
“Britain will always provide refuge to people fleeing war and persecution, but our visa system must not be abused,” Secretary of State for the Home Department Shabana Mahmood said.
“That is why I am taking the unprecedented......
